Twig blight attacks the young shoots
Of the current seasons growth and causes
these to wither and become brown and
curly in midsummer. The cause is un-
certain and the injury is not materially
great. The remedy is cutting away at
the first appearance OF the trouble.
Apple blight, like the dreaded fire
blight, is serious disease. 1t attacks a
whole branch or limb, and sometimes
half Of the top of a tree is destroyed be-
fore it becomes apparent to an ordinary
observer. Again there is no remedy ex-
cept to cut away the diseased portions
and burn these up. The pear-leaf blight
is a sort of blight that appears on the
leaves during July and August, first in
small brown spots. These spots spread
rapidly over the leaves until their growth
is stopped. To avoid the evil effect Of
leaf blight the great point is to get a
rapid, vigorous growth before midsum-
mer.
Readers, especially those having small
experience, will doubtless be disappointed
because long list of so-called remedies
has not been given for blight remedies
such as are advised from year to year by
many writers. These have been avoided
because there is in reality but one course
to pursue-the heroic one of cutting away
the diseased parts and destroying them
by fire.-Neso York World.

Manufacture or Hairpins.

For years the Enslish and French con-
trolled the manufacture Of hairpins, and
IL is only within the last twenty years
that the goods have been produced IN
this country 10 any extent. The
machinery used Is Of delicate and intri-
cate character, as the prices at which pins
are sold necessitate the most rapid and
cheapest process, which can only be pro.
cured by automatic machines. The wire
10 made expressly for the purpose and put
up In large coils, which are placed in q
clamp, which carries il to the machine
while Strengthening IL: from there II runs
in another machine, which cuts, bends,
and, by q delicate and instantaneous pro-
cess, sharpens the points. Running al
full speed these machines will turn out
100 haipins every minute. To economic,
II Is necessary TO keep them working
night and day. The difficult part Is the
enameling, which Is done BY dipping in
a preparation and baking Il in an oven.
Here IL where the most constant and care
ful attention IL required, a. the pin must
be perfectly smooth and the enamel have
aperfect polish. The slightest particles
Of dust cause imperfections and rough
ness, which IL Objectionable. -BrootlyR

A Horse that was a setter.

A man who had horse who would sit
down whenever he was touched In the
flank. lie would just squat down on his
headquarters likea dog. The man tried
u break him Of II, but he couldn't, and
nobody would buy him. One day q
sportsman came along and made his &C.
quainiance, and they took q ride together
% hunt pariridges. When they found q
eoyey the man'tonchcd his heels 70 his
horses TANKS and he sat down. "What
makes your horse do that7n said the
sportsman. "Why,n he's a setter, = said
the man. ''IIe sets birds just like dog. =
So The sportsman thought he was most
wonderful horse, and he sWapped forhin
and gave $50 20 boot, and he got on him,
and after awhile they came 70 q creek
that was pretty deep, aud a. the sports
man heldup bis legs 10 keep them out of
the water his heels touched the horse in
the flank aud dow1 be sat in the water.
When lie got him up and out and al
dripping wet he was as mad a. wet

Deep Flowing.

In farming, as well as in dairying or
grazing, everything depends upon the
condition Of the soil. Here is the foun-
dation, and unless this is in proper con-
dition the substructure is bound to fall.
A great deal has been said and written
as to the proper depth to plow, and there
is such q difference Of opinion among
farmers in regard to it the question is
still Is far from being settled as ever. We
think, however, that the leading cause
for such difference Of opinion may be
found in the land itself. That good
crops are and can be grown on shallow
plowed land that is good no one will
deny, provided the season be neither too
wet nor too dry. e., with moderate
rains the whole season. In such a season
any one can raise good crops. But such
seasons are rare, and, in fact, every sea-
son is likely 10 be attended with either a
long drought or long wet spell. Now
what the farmer wants is to guard against
both, and the only way to do it is to
break up his land Is deeply Is posi-
ble-say not less than seven to ten
inches. Bet how is this to mend the
matterl We answer, very easily. Incase
Of aheavy rain q large portion Of the
water, instead Of running of, will be abb
sorbed by the deeply disintegrated land,
where ii Is held as If BY q sponge for the
use OF the plants, and Il a drought should
intervene, there is ssfpply Of water Just
where me plants want il, and when en-
hausted, its place is Of once supplied by
capillary attraction from below. Il will
thus be seen that by deep blowing the
farmer provides against draught by hay-
ing supply Of water in reserve, or q
place ready to receive and hold II when.
ever il comes. The better % insure, this,
however, as well as 10 facilitate the es.
cape Of too much water, ii is better TO use
q subsoil plow and an additional team,
running the same Immediately after the
breaking plow, and ripping up the sub.
soil the desired depth. This need not
be done for every crop raised on the
land, but only once 10 every three q
four years.
II has been well said that II il better
70 have two acres Of good land, one on
top Of the other, than as many acres
alongside ofeach other, as IL costs only
half ~ much to tend them. The way ia
do this Is b. deep blowing, aad thu.
double the depth Of the soil, as well q
the crops grown thereon.

Cables OF the World.

!. contributor writes in the Philadelphia
Call: Ihave q chart issued by the hydro
graphic Office of the United States Navy,
in which are shown the submarine cables
of the world, with the seacoast stations
and the principal connecting land lines.
The United States, of course, is well
ribbed with wires, three lines of which
stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Coast, or at least practically so. Then
there are two running from the extreme
north to the Gulf, while another skirts
the Pacific Coast. Mexico has a number
of lines, while the West Indies appear to
lack nothing in this respect. Both coasts
of South America as far down as Pata-
gonia have telegraphic communication
with the rest of the world, while running
into Brazil from Lisbon, Portugal, there
is pair of submarine cables. Did you
know there was as many as ten cables
connecting the new and the old worlds?
They don't run directly across, either.
The couple which bring st. Pierre, on
this side, and Brest, France, together
sweep down as far south as the latitude
of New York. of course you understand
that in laying submarine cables the bed
of the ocean is first carefully considered.
Europe is crossed and recrossed, while
from st. Petersburg clear across to the
Pacific coast extends lonely line Of
wire. Siberia is as bare of poles as the
average old gentleman's head is of hair.
So is the greater portion of northern and
western Russia, the whole of interior
China and Africa, British America and
Alaska and, of course, Greenland and
Iceland. Australia has several lines of
wire running its length, one of which
comes clear from the north, where the
cable from British India energies from
its watery bed, down to Tasmania.
Suppose, now, California merchant
wants to telegraph a correspondent in
New Zealand. That isn't so far, geo.
graphically speaking, but from tele-
graphic point of view it is far in the dis
lance. The California man would send
his message something like this: He
would start it across the continent, where
it would take journey under water, be
flashed through Europe, again under
water in the Mediterranean Sea, through
the Suez Canal, across India, under the
Bay of Bengal, the Java Sea, q piece Of
the Indian oceon and finally to the
operator at Palmerston, Australia He
would start it across that continental
island to Sydney, where it would take
another bath, this time in the Pacific
Ocean. and finally ii would be delivered
to the man to whom il was addressed.
The message on which Preller's murderer,
Maxwell, was apprehended, took some
thing like this route from st. Louis.
You remember he had taken steamer from
California to New Zealand.

A Society Incident.

There is q story about two Bowery
gentlemen in New York that's not too
dried. One of them was moving in
what the other considered swell society,
and he was puzzled how he managed to
keep up the style.
"How do you do it7" he asked.
"Vell, you see, I buys me dress coat
init tails at an auction, an when l gets
on dat coat i gets blenty Of invitations,
an / goes oud."
"But where does you get the monishl"
"The monishl You see venever /
goes I takes away NIT me q silver spoon
or knife or something's, an gets two
or three dollars for them. It's easy as
pie. Wy don't You try iti"
"Mel / vas honest. I couldn't do
do such pizness." =
However, he was persuaded to buy .
cheap dress suit and go into society un-
der the guidance Of his ingenious friend.
The first party they attended the old
bird said /:
"yy don't you make away NIT some
thingsi It'll never be known. Yves
pizness men,"
"No; I couldn't. Watt accept Of their
hospitality, an den-no-no. / coulda't
do it."
"Look here. This is de way And
he pulled up his trousers and showed
two knives and a spoon sticking in his
boot. The other was too honest to fol-
low his example. When the supper was
inprogress the honest one gotupand said;
Ladies and gentlemen, I vas much
obliged for your hospitality. I vas not
good at speech making, but I vas able ia
do some sligh-of-hand tricks. You see
takes dem two knives and one spoon,
SO. You see / puts dem in my pocket,
50. Now / say presto queeckl You
looks in dat mans boots und you finds

Then he said good night and went
home.

Swine as Meed. Eradicators.

Colonel F. d. Curtis, Charlton, N. Y,
tells the Elmira HusDaadmaa he has
known an acre of iveforeyer to be ex-
terminated by one seasons efforts of
hogs; and they are equally effective
against other persistent plants that
cumber the ground:
''The best way is to fence off all spots
infested with noxious weeds hard to kill,
and turn in hogs. Shelled corn should
be scattered about to induce them to
root, and they should not be fed so much
but that they will have keen appetites.
The little PIGGY breeds are good for
nothing as reformed. Mr.. Holman has
breed that is genuine. They take
naturally to natures food and will thrive
on grass and roots. Wild morning glory
can be ersdicated in the same way, and 1
have no doubt quack also. It has very
sweet root and II the hogs are pinched a
little on the start, until they got taste,
they would also destroy the quack. II
the ground be too hard it should be
ploughed, and corn scattered about.
Hogs will also eat the roots of Canada
thistles, as they are quite sugary. The
good things hogs viii do, when they have
chance, have never all been told. They
are really very important part of the
farm and its outfit. / make my Durco-

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Growing wheat AFTER Corn.

BY planting early Of an early-ripening
corn, the crop may be got off in time to
sow with wheat, thus getting land seeded
again in the shortest time after the sod
has been broken up, and providing a
covering for it in the winter wheat the
following winter. The corn field so
managed should be near some grass land.
to which the ripened corn may be drawn
as soon as cut and left until dry enough
to husk. This, though involving more
labor, is better plan than the old-time
practice of blowing or cultivating be-
tween the rows of stalks and leaving the
latter to be seeded just at the beginning
of winter. In these times this late-sown
wheat will not amount to much; but by
clearing off early the wheat may be sue
cessfully grown after the corn. The
practice Of sowing wheat among the
corn-stalks or corn,shocks is sloyenly
one. ~ 81
